<v Speaker 1>took part in the Next Great Podcast Contest. We had

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>eighteen hundred entries. We are narrowing it down to the

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:34.160
<v Speaker 1>top twenty. The top ten make it into the semifinals

<v Speaker 1>can go there. My first episode is with Adam Sandler

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.599
<v Speaker 1>and we talk about that scene in Happy Gilmore when

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>he got into the fight with Bob Barker and everything

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>that went on behind it setting that up. Other actors

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>they considered other than Bob Barker, the TV show host,

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>but Sandler the first episode and other actors who were

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>going to follow Ralphie from a Christmas story. Peter Billingsley

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 1>he's going to join us to talk about nearly getting

0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>his eyes shot out with his BB gun. Yes, Poe,

0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>that's a tough kid. He doesn't that he didn't want

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>to talk about it. Doesn't do a lot of interviews,

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>more of a producer guy. Yes, he is good friends

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>with Vince Vaughan. By the way, I sent you guys

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 1>a picture of Vince Vaughan from Swingers, and I knew it.

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Every time I would see Joe Burrow, I go, he

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>reminds me of somebody. And then there's the scene in

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the nightclub when they're dancing and Vince Vaughn is there

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 1>in the in the booth and a young Vince Vaughan

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and Joe Burrow. Did you guys see it? Everybody agree?

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Or was that you know, a stretch on my part

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 1>to be faced in the kind of a little sprinkling

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>of you know, the hairs up. Yeah, yeah, see, I

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>thought you were talking about the other guy in the picture.

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 1>No you didn't, Yeah I did. Oh that's not good. Yeah,

0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I thought you were talking about the other guy. It's like, oh, yeah,

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>that does how to look like him. Oh that's not good.

0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>It does kind of look like Sue as well. But

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>he does look exactly like a young Vince Vaughn and

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrow. Yes, I think Burrow looks like a nineteen

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>eighties bad guy in a teenage movie, like a Bill

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Zabka type. He looks like he'd be obnoxius, but he's not,

0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>but he comes off like he bullies. Would he be

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>in Cobra Kai, Yeah he'd Yeah, anybody watch that on Netflix.

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Seaton's been telling me all about it. How great Cobra

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>like is it? It? Does it border on being bad

0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 1>but it's great? Seaton? Well, no, it's like, um, I

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>would say, it's like three degrees away from being terrible,

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>but somehow is amazing. It's like it's full of all

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>of this like hoke and like just cheesy stuff. But

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.239
<v Speaker 1>they do it in such a great way that you're

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>like you as soon as one ends, You're like, you

0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>can't wait for to watch another one. I'll rip off

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>like five in a row. It's fantastic and original actors

0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>from Karate Kid. Yeah, yeah, it's so good. It's so good. Yes,

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:03.839
<v Speaker 1>don't do like I'll watch five minutes of and see

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>because you'll emerge like three days later. You can't act

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>op binging yeah, I don't. I there's certain ones that

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I have to be in the right mood, the right

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>frame of mind to go, Okay, now I'm going to

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>watch that. Like there's certain times you go, I don't

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>want to watch something that's depressive, like Succession Is. You

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.640
<v Speaker 1>tune in because you're trying to see varying degrees of

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>people that you know are despicable, and then you'll go, oh,

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I like him the best because he's not as despicable

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>as everybody else. Yellowstone, same way. Everybody's somehow a bad

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>person in there. That's like the new wave here, it's

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>everybody's bad. But those are very successful shows so far.

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's called that scene. Amazon Music the first

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>ones with Sandler. Will Ferrell talks about the streaking scene

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>in Old School. Brian Cranston talks about in great detail

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the final scene of Breaking Bad. So if you get

0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>a chance, I'm curious what you think of that. Very

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>proud of that, mcleve And the poll question so far,

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 1>the results, well, just to get clicks, we put up

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>which Sunday game, I'm sorry, Sunday Monday game. Are you

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>most looking forward to watch? Between the Chiefs Raided the

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Monday Night Cowboys Seahawks Sunday afternoon or Packers Saints as

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 1>actually Chiefs Ravens is edging out Cowboys Seahawks. Well, I

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.799
<v Speaker 1>understand that you know that you're watching the two teams

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 1>that will probably competing compete to go to represent the

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.600
<v Speaker 1>AFC in the Super Bowl. I understand that the stakes

0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.440
<v Speaker 1>are high, not as high as they'd be if it

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.600
<v Speaker 1>was in the postseason or even at the end of

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the regular season. Seattle and Dallas is really intriguing because

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Dallas coming off that win, Seattle's offense is completely different.

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Their defense isn't that good. Dallas's defense is typically overrated. Again,

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>and you could have a big slug fast shootout there.

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>But I am fascinated with Aaron Rodgers against Drew Brees

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>only because of what Drew Brees did or didn't do

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 1>against the Raiders on Monday Night, And how is he

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 1>going to respond and not have Michael Thomas there again?

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>But what if he beats the Packers? What if he

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>outduels Aaron Rodgers? Then all of a sudden, what because

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>because we got to find a storyline. So if Drew

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Brees has a good game, We're like, no, we can't

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>use that tired arm thing anymore. Oh, Rogers not motivated

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>any longer with chip on his shoulder after drafting Jordan Love. Yeah,

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.120
<v Speaker 1>point right. In game one and two, the Packers are cruising,

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers looks great. Everything's quiet, nothing. No one's talked

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>about the Packers. No, you had a situation where Notre

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Dame had some positive tests, so their game against Wake

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Force has been postponed. I did check in with his

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>source that said the school had minimal positives the last

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:52.119
<v Speaker 1>two weeks. But as players play games, then go out,

0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 1>and that you have guys being guys. This was bound

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>to happen better now than later. According to my source,

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.839
<v Speaker 1>it would have been hard for Notre Dame to have

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>practiced this week. The ACC has planned for this with

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>two buy weeks, plus the option of December twelfth as

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>a catch update if need be. The other conferences do

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.680
<v Speaker 1>not have this luxury. But the ACC did build this in.

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the SEC did, but they probably did,

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>but maybe that's one week. But the ACC, from what

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm told, they built this in because they were expecting

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 1>some of their schools, some of their teams, would not

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>be able to play every single week, but the Pac

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>twelve if they play, and certainly the Big Ten, they

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>have no room for error, no margin for error. They're

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 1>straight through all the way. Yes, Paul. Checking all the

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>SEC team schedules, it appears that they all have one

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>open week, like Alabama does not play November seventh, so

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>that would be a little bit of wiggle room in

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 1>case an SEC team had a situation. I mentioned this

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.279
<v Speaker 1>in the first hour of the NFL is really coming

0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.560
<v Speaker 1>down hard on head coaches who aren't following rules and

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 1>wearing face mask and I said this about John Gruden

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.279
<v Speaker 1>after watching him on Monday night. I said, he's going

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>to get fined, and he got fined one hundred thousand dollars.

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.719
<v Speaker 1>It was National TV. Sean Payton got fined one hundred

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars. They find five coaches and then teams get

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>fined two hundred and fifty thousand dollars as a result,

0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>because if you've been warned and then you don't adhere

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 1>to what the rules are, then you're going to get

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.320
<v Speaker 1>fined and the team gets fined. So that's three hundred

0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and fifty thousand dollars that some of those teams and

0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 1>coaches got fined. The NFL is concerned about the optics

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>here because the coach close up is a staple of

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:40.960
<v Speaker 1>television broadcast, right for better for worse. Those guys, many

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 1>of which don't care about how they look, are the

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 1>face of the league, and Andy Reid can fog up

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>as visor. But the league is coming down so hard

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:50.679
<v Speaker 1>in this case, and if they want to talk about

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 1>public safety, they feel that non players better have mask. Right.

0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>That may not be completely fair, but remember it's a

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.640
<v Speaker 1>league that is constantly worried about it's you have players

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 1>on the bench who I'm told there's only two markets,

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>two cities I think it's Buffalo and San Francisco where

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.960
<v Speaker 1>the players have to wear a mask. On the sidelines

0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>have to. But if a coach is outdoors, everybody's already

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 1>been tested, and he is speaking into a headset and

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.400
<v Speaker 1>at sometimes he's got his play call sheet up there.

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much interaction he has with players.

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>But in comparison to the NBA, Frank Vogel, Mike Malone,

0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.920
<v Speaker 1>they don't have a mask on last night. Now they're

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>in the bubble. But the players on the bench in

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the bubble, it appears most have a mask on, so

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 1>that I was just trying to figure that out. Like

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the NFL, with players, some do some don't. Coaches everybody

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 1>has to do it. With the NBA, coaches don't do it.

0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Some players on the bench. I don't know if it's

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 1>mandatory on the bench, but you'll find that a lot

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>of those players there's social distance on the bench in

0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the NBA. With football football, they're high five and they're

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.840
<v Speaker 1>hugging after a game, and then there's the actual play itself,

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and that's We're going to talk to Mike Florio from

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.439
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Talk about that. Yeah, point, we sent it

0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>up to the NBA to ask what their rules were

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.439
<v Speaker 1>in comparison to the NFL's rules. Do you think with

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>the NBA they allowed the head coach to have a

0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.839
<v Speaker 1>little wiggle room because he needs to communicate, even though

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the stadium is not loud, it's basically quiet. But is

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>that maybe just the head coach who's standing up is

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>allowed to be massless because he needs to communicate. It

0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>would be tough without with a mascot. But how's that

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>any different than a football game. I'm not sure. And look,

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to stir up something. I just want

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>to know that if we're going to find these coaches

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:46.319
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand dollars and teams two hundred and fifty

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>k but the NBA is not doing that. Baseball managers

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you'll see them with mask on in the dugout. So

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>just trying to figure out, you know, one is outside

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.960
<v Speaker 1>one is inside the bubble. So we'll talk to Also,

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Blake Bortles gets signed by the Denver Broncos, and I

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 1>just wondered this, and once again, I'm not trying to

0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 1>stir anything up other than I just ask a question,

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think they're legitimate questions. I don't troll you.

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to stir it up. There's no politics

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 1>involved in this. If I'm Denver, why am I not

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 1>bringing in Colin Kaepernick? If I'm bringing in Blake Bortles,

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 1>why don't I at least bring in Kaepernick to see

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:33.959
<v Speaker 1>if he can play. I'm assuming he's better than Blake Bortles.

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:37.200
<v Speaker 1>And I know that Drew Locke is supposed to be

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.640
<v Speaker 1>your future. But that was just a question I had

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 1>that if it didn't happen with Blake Bortles, then it's

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.679
<v Speaker 1>never happening. And I said at the time when Kaepernick

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>was blackballed from the league, I said, he'll never get

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 1>another chance, and he hasn't. And I just wondered about

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.679
<v Speaker 1>that with the Broncos. Does John Elway, you know, at

0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>least bring him in and have them compete for that job,

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.439
<v Speaker 1>And wasn't the case. Blake Bortles is your backup quarterback

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>in Denver, Age seven seven three d P Show email

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 1>address Dpadanpatrick dot com Twitter handed with DP show. Last hour,

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.560
<v Speaker 1>we found out that Gayl Stairs Hall of Fame running

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>back for the Bears, had passed away at the age

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>of seventy seven. There's certain athletes that have an impact

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 1>on you when you're growing up. It's because you know

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:27.840
<v Speaker 1>your life is not complicated. You know, you're collecting trading cards,

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>like all you care about is the lineup of your team,

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 1>and you follow them and you're listening on radio and

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at the box scores like you just you

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>can't consume enough. And then I always got the Cleveland

0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Browns games when I was growing up, so I'm very

0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.800
<v Speaker 1>fortunate I got to see some of the greatest running

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>backs of all time, Jim Brown, Lee Roy Kelly, Ernie

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Green and occasionally you would get that game where we

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>got to see the Chicago Bears and I got to

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 1>see Gayl Sairs And this is I'm probably ten years old,

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe eleven, and boy, that had an impact on me

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 1>because I didn't know how somebody could run that way.

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:09.280
<v Speaker 1>He made you miss And growing up watching football prior

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 1>to that, you had guys who tried to run over you,

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>like you'll go back to Jim Taylor. Now they were

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:21.079
<v Speaker 1>running over you. Dave Osborne with the Vikings, Mark Van

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Egan of the Rate. You know, you just had that

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of powerful running back, and this was different. Gayl

0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Says was different than any other running back I ever

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:35.200
<v Speaker 1>saw up until that point. And then OJ late sixties

0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Rose Bowl against Ohio State, That's when I went,

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, he's sort of doing what Gail Says did,

0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>but he's bigger, he's faster. But Gayl Sairs was a

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>special player, and his career cut short because of a

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>knee injury, but did go into the Hall of Fame,

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 1>passing away at the age of seventy seven. Rick and

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Iowa joins us, Hey, Rick, what do you form a day? All? Right? Dan?

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.559
<v Speaker 1>How are you? I am? I am. You know, it's

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>an unfortunate with Gail Sayers passing, But I'm very passionate

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>about Gail Sayers and you've you've mentioned a lot of

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.840
<v Speaker 1>things that we're the same demographic age wise that I

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>know about. But a couple of things that I think

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 1>are notable is in my mind, Gayale Sayers is the

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Sandy Colfax of the NFL. Uh two greats that careers

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>were cut short, that you know, arguably considered two of

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the greatest ever. Yeah. Another thing, another thing, Dan out

0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>of Omaha, Nebraska. Gail Sayers grew up in the same

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.480
<v Speaker 1>neighborhood with the Gibson Boys, Bob Gibson and Omaha's not

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 1>that vick, but there's two of the greatest players were

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>two different sports and the same city that grew up

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>in Omaha, Nebraska. That I think is notable. And the

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.720
<v Speaker 1>last thing is, to this day, Gail Sayers still holds

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the state record in the long jump and a half

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 1>and that was a half of a job. As you know,

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.280
<v Speaker 1>Bob Beaman did it down in New Mexico, went like

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:11.439
<v Speaker 1>almost twenty nine beat or something like that. That elevated area.

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, Slayers did that in high school, Thank you, Rick. Yeah,

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Mexico City, not New Mexico for Bob Beaman, but the

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Olympics not in Albuquerque. No, they were none, But that's okay.

0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I did not know like that. Bob Gibson and Gale

0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Stairs grew up in the Omaha at the same time. Yeah, Paul,

0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>if you go on YouTube, it's easy to find Gayl

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Says highlights. But it's fascinating to watch them playing football

0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 1>in Wrigley Field. There's just people standing against the ivy

0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 1>watching There's like a dog and a guy walking around.

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:47.120
<v Speaker 1>It feels like it's a weird exhibition game. And he

0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:49.480
<v Speaker 1>was playing on such and even when he got injured,

0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't because of the turf. It was just the

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 1>defensive back for the forty nine ers. The way he

0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.640
<v Speaker 1>hit him and he caught him right on his knee

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and Sairs came back and I think played one more year,

0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>but he was he was just ever the same. And

0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 1>of course you know the movie Brian's Song about Brian

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Piccolo the fullback or running back with Gayl Stairs, and

0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 1>they developed this great friendship. The original Brian Song is

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 1>wonderful with James conn Billy D Williams, but gayl Stairs

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>passing away at the age of seventy seven. Jeremy in Texas, Hey, Jeremy,

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.960
<v Speaker 1>what's on your mind today? Hey guys, how's it going good?

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Possible pole question as well here. If the Philadelvie Eagles

0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 1>go oh and three against Cincinnati Bengals, who hurts on

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Week four? Well, let me see what happens to Wentz

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>in this game. But Jeremy, I do think it's a

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 1>legitimate question. I don't want to put Jalen Hurts in there.

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:45.400
<v Speaker 1>If if the Chargers are apprehensive about putting Justin Herbert

0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.800
<v Speaker 1>in there because he's a rookie, Jalen Hurts without an

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 1>offseason to prepare, and you're gonna put him in there

0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.320
<v Speaker 1>because he's let's face it, he still has the same

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.680
<v Speaker 1>offensive line that Carson Wentz is going to have in there.

0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just Wentz seems a little lost here, like he

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 1>just got to get his compass pointing north here and

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 1>figure out, Okay, let's go back to what you do

0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 1>really well, and then that's what they need to re

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.040
<v Speaker 1>emphasize with him, Doug Peterson. But if you lose to

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals and he doesn't play well, then you might

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.440
<v Speaker 1>sit him down for his own good because his footwork

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 1>is horrible. And you know, when you have anytime, a quarterback,

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 1>a golfer, if you have surgery on your plant leg

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and it affects you, it's either consciously subconsciously, it's it's

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 1>just there. And I think it probably affected Brady after

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>he came back when he got injured against Kansas City

0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:45.920
<v Speaker 1>in the opening week years ago. And you just you're planting,

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 1>and so you're always feeling somebody around you, and Carson

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Wentz just doesn't look comfortable there. And I don't know.

0:16:55.800 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, these guys think they're, you know, penetrable, that

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>they can run, and they they're young, and then all

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden reality hits them. And usually it's a

0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 1>defensive lineman called reality or a defensive back and then

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.640
<v Speaker 1>you go, oh my god, I can't keep doing this.

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.520
<v Speaker 1>And it happens every every quarterback you see. Now we

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 1>can look at Kyler Murray, now you can. It happened

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 1>to Cam Newton. You can look at Lamar Jackson, all

0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 1>of these guys where you go, hey, it'll eventually catch

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.040
<v Speaker 1>up to you. You can't do this your entire career.

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 1>Steve Young used to run all the time, became one

0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 1>of the great pocket passers in NFL history. Michael Vick

0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:41.199
<v Speaker 1>realized you couldn't continue to run. And you know Carson Wentz,

0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 1>it's just he's taken on those defensive players in the

0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 1>game against the Rams, and you're going, why self preservation

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:55.200
<v Speaker 1>at that position? My god, self preservation. And that's why

0:17:55.280 --> 0:18:01.399
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson has never missed a game. Dak Prescott has

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:06.160
<v Speaker 1>not missed a game. You have to have self preservation.

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.639
<v Speaker 1>And if I read, I might not get that touchdown,

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 1>but I'll live to see another day another play. Josh

0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:18.439
<v Speaker 1>Allen's gonna learn this. Josh Allen will learn this and

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.160
<v Speaker 1>probably has learned or is learning here because he's got

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Donald coming up this weekend. Yeah, Paul one factor

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:29.199
<v Speaker 1>with the Eagles and Carson Wentz. In June nineteen, he

0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.920
<v Speaker 1>signed a contract that guarantees him one hundred and seven

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. They are locked into him till twenty twenty two.

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.880
<v Speaker 1>That's their earliest out to save the back three years

0:18:38.920 --> 0:18:42.800
<v Speaker 1>of his contra. So they I think, what if they

0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:45.040
<v Speaker 1>play well against the Bengals, are we gonna overreact the

0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 1>other way and say Carson Wentz is fixed because then

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.720
<v Speaker 1>they got the forty nine Steelers and Ravens right on that. No,

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:54.320
<v Speaker 1>if they should beat the Bengals, right, but if they don't,

0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.000
<v Speaker 1>then I don't think we're going to overreact to say

0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a real problem here. But if they do win,

0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:01.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to, oh, Carson Wentz is all fixed.

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Nothing to see. Let's move on, because but you know

0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.199
<v Speaker 1>how everyone else will be like, oh, he's fixed, and

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 1>then it's going to be That's why, that's why we

0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 1>need to write down what people say, not just on

0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.200
<v Speaker 1>this show, but other shows where they go you said

0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:18.800
<v Speaker 1>this in September, now we're in November, and sometimes they're accurate.

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:21.719
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of times, remember when Leonard Fournette won

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the Heisman in September when he was at LSU. He

0:19:24.760 --> 0:19:28.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't win the Heisman, but we love to hand it out.

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.800
<v Speaker 1>We'd love to go he's the MV Like Russell. I'm

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I picked Russell Wilson to be the MVP this year.

0:19:33.440 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm nervous because he's been really good and everybody's saying,

0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Russ he's leading candidate for the MVP. We need a

0:19:40.359 --> 0:19:43.040
<v Speaker 1>new story. That's why Kyler Murray may have a better

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 1>chance when it's all said and done. Yeah, McLevin. Yeah,

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.480
<v Speaker 1>he's got to go wire to wire now too good? Yes,

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:52.159
<v Speaker 1>because we knew Lamar Jackson had a lot of talent,

0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:54.679
<v Speaker 1>and then all of a sudden he kept piling up

0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.760
<v Speaker 1>those numbers, piling up those numbers, and then he stayed consistent,

0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and then he won the MVP. I don't at some

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:04.280
<v Speaker 1>point Patrick Mahomes because becomes an underdog story because he

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 1>will have not won the MVP in a couple of years,

0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.679
<v Speaker 1>and we go, man, he hadn't won it. Yeah, mclub.

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Same with Aaron Rodgers. Seems like a bit of an

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:19.479
<v Speaker 1>underdog this year. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. Let me let

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:21.159
<v Speaker 1>me take a break. We'll talk to Floria here. I

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 1>got a few things talk to Florio about, certainly with

0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:27.760
<v Speaker 1>these coaches getting fined large amounts of money and then

0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.520
<v Speaker 1>MetLife Stadium all of a sudden, that playing surface is

0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a real issue apparently, So we'll talk Florio about that.

0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:37.400
<v Speaker 1>What do you do with a entire surface? And then

0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:39.879
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk about the Broncos bring in Blake Bortles and

0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 1>don't even give Colin Kaepernick a look, which I found surprising,

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:46.560
<v Speaker 1>but we'll talk Floria about that coming up next twenty

0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:48.640
<v Speaker 1>two after the hour. This is The Dan Patrick Show.

<v Speaker 1>host a Pro Football Live you can see it on Peacock,

0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and he joins us on the program. Mike, let me

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:33.240
<v Speaker 1>start with these coaches who have been fined large dollar

0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 1>amounts here and then their teams find as well. I'm

0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:39.439
<v Speaker 1>just trying to understand the difference between the NFL and

0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the NBA. Whereas NBA players on the bench, they'll be

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:46.960
<v Speaker 1>wearing a mask, but the coach doesn't have to, But

0:21:47.080 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 1>then we saw John Gruden and Sean Payton get fined

0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.040
<v Speaker 1>this week. They are supposed to wear a mask, but

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the players on the bench, unless it's San Francisco and Buffalo,

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 1>don't have to. So I'm trying to understand this. Why

0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>is it okay for some coaches in some sports and

0:22:02.840 --> 0:22:05.600
<v Speaker 1>not in others. Well, the NFL made the rule dan

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.560
<v Speaker 1>that the coaches must have their faces covered, noses and

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:12.560
<v Speaker 1>mouths on the sideline. Now, that rule was conceived at

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:15.920
<v Speaker 1>a time when the NFL wanted to test everyone just

0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:19.640
<v Speaker 1>three times per week. That has since become daily testing.

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 1>And that's the philosophical question that keeps coming up. If

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:25.280
<v Speaker 1>everyone's being tested daily, why do the coaches have to

0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:27.440
<v Speaker 1>wear a mask when none of the players are. It's

0:22:27.440 --> 0:22:30.879
<v Speaker 1>a strange juxtaposition that we see during the games. The

0:22:30.920 --> 0:22:33.280
<v Speaker 1>players are running around with no mask, and then the

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 1>coach is supposed to have a mask on, and they

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:38.960
<v Speaker 1>haven't changed that rule. I don't think they are going

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to change that rule. They expect the coaches to comply.

0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 1>And the five most egregious offenders are the ones that

0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:47.440
<v Speaker 1>got hit for one hundred thousand dollars in their teams

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 1>for two hundred and fifty thousand, and they wanted to

0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:51.280
<v Speaker 1>hit them hard enough. So they don't just view it

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 1>as a cost of doing business. So they don't just

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 1>write the check for all fifteen remaining games and say,

0:22:56.320 --> 0:22:58.160
<v Speaker 1>now leave me alone and let me go not wear

0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:00.840
<v Speaker 1>my mask in peace. They want to get their attention,

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 1>and I think they're going to continue to be aggressive

0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:06.359
<v Speaker 1>about it if the coaches don't comply. Explain to me

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:09.560
<v Speaker 1>about the playing surface that MetLife Stadium with the Jets

0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:12.639
<v Speaker 1>and Giants, and what is the biggest concern, Well, what

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:15.880
<v Speaker 1>happened during the forty nine Ers Jets game on Sunday.

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:20.520
<v Speaker 1>A lot of lower leg injuries, some season ending injuries,

0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 1>including one suffered by Nick Bose to the forty nine

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:25.719
<v Speaker 1>Ers defensive end, and I think that really changes that

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:29.320
<v Speaker 1>team dramatically to not have him. The complaints began to

0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 1>come from individual forty nine Ers players saying that there's

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:36.159
<v Speaker 1>something wrong with the turf, that their foot gets stuck

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.200
<v Speaker 1>in the turf, and I started to poke around the

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:40.800
<v Speaker 1>Giants and the Steelers had played there six days earlier.

0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:44.000
<v Speaker 1>They had no issues with the turf. I asked someone

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:46.120
<v Speaker 1>from the Jets. The response was we were too busy

0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:48.640
<v Speaker 1>getting our faces kicked in to notice anything wrong with

0:23:48.720 --> 0:23:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the turf. But the forty nine ers had the issue.

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:54.119
<v Speaker 1>They had the complaint. The league's position is, these fields

0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:57.600
<v Speaker 1>are certified, they're certified by an independent inspector, they're certified

0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 1>by the teams. Well, to me, that's not enough, Dan,

0:24:00.600 --> 0:24:04.359
<v Speaker 1>because we've seen plenty of crappy fields over the years

0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:08.560
<v Speaker 1>that have been certified certified as being suitable for play.

0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Remember the FedEx field surface the day they had to

0:24:11.320 --> 0:24:15.440
<v Speaker 1>paint the dirt green for a playoff game, the game

0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:20.000
<v Speaker 1>where Robert Griffin, the thirds ACL finally went so, I

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:23.920
<v Speaker 1>don't accept that as being despositive. And the NFLPA has

0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:27.840
<v Speaker 1>echoed the forty nine ers concerns that maybe we should

0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:31.119
<v Speaker 1>take a look at this. What's the harm in reconfirming

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 1>that everything is fine with this playing surface and it

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:36.760
<v Speaker 1>feels like something more than just sour grapes by the

0:24:36.760 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 1>forty nine ers. There are enough guys complaining about it

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 1>to at least raise the question of why not take

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:46.280
<v Speaker 1>a closer look and make sure there's nothing wrong with

0:24:46.320 --> 0:24:48.320
<v Speaker 1>this new playing surface? Yeah, but what can you do?

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Can the Niners refuse to play the Giants this weekend.

0:24:52.320 --> 0:24:55.920
<v Speaker 1>That's what makes it so fascinating. Usually what happens is

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the road team, if they have a problem with the field,

0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:00.359
<v Speaker 1>they're not coming back for the rest the year. They

0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:02.160
<v Speaker 1>may I'll be coming back for eight years if it's

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:05.680
<v Speaker 1>an interconference game. Here they are seven days later, back

0:25:05.720 --> 0:25:08.199
<v Speaker 1>on the same field, and the Giants have come out strong.

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Joe Judge, the head coaches, said, we practice there throughout

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:13.159
<v Speaker 1>training camp. We have no issues at all with this,

0:25:13.280 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think the NFL is going to give

0:25:14.640 --> 0:25:16.560
<v Speaker 1>him any relief. I mean, we've seen in the past

0:25:16.560 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 1>where where a field has gotten so bad a teams

0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 1>had to tear it up and replace it. At New

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:23.280
<v Speaker 1>England at one point they had to get rid of

0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the grass and put down field turf. But I don't

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:28.120
<v Speaker 1>think that's going to happen. I think the forty niners

0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:29.720
<v Speaker 1>are just going to have to deal with it, and

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the NFL is going to concede that

0:25:31.640 --> 0:25:33.480
<v Speaker 1>there was an issue with the turf. They say it's

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:35.480
<v Speaker 1>fine and they're going to go forward, and we'll see

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 1>what the forty nine players have to say after playing

0:25:37.960 --> 0:25:41.479
<v Speaker 1>there again this weekend. The week two over reactions are

0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:44.400
<v Speaker 1>always interesting because Cam Newton now we want to sign

0:25:44.440 --> 0:25:46.680
<v Speaker 1>him up to a long term contract in New England,

0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and Drew Brees is ready to join you on Football

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Night in America sooner than we thought all during the season. Yes, yes,

0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:57.959
<v Speaker 1>of those two storylines right now. If I said I'm

0:25:58.000 --> 0:25:59.919
<v Speaker 1>going to talk to you in November about Drew Brees

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:04.760
<v Speaker 1>and his performance and Cam Newton and his performance, how

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:07.520
<v Speaker 1>different would it be? Will it be in November when

0:26:07.560 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 1>we when we're talking about these two quarterbacks. I don't

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 1>think it'll well, it should be different because I think

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:16.879
<v Speaker 1>both guys played consistently with who they are. The question

0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:20.120
<v Speaker 1>is Cam Newton is is he healthy? And that's why

0:26:20.200 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 1>he was looking for so long for a job. Teams

0:26:23.560 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 1>weren't sure whether or not he was healthy, and teams

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 1>weren't in a position to find out. The Patriots eventually

0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:31.440
<v Speaker 1>took the leap of faith and decided to roll the dice,

0:26:31.480 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 1>and they were willing to upend their quarterback depth chart

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:37.120
<v Speaker 1>for Cam Newton. See that's a problem, even though he's

0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:39.280
<v Speaker 1>better than a lot of quarterbacks. What teams out there

0:26:39.320 --> 0:26:42.439
<v Speaker 1>were willing to upend their depth chart if Cam Newton

0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:45.439
<v Speaker 1>shows up and is instantly better than the person in

0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 1>whom they invested a top ten pick or invested thirty

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:51.760
<v Speaker 1>million per year, whatever the case may be. All of

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:53.440
<v Speaker 1>a sudden, you got to split in the locker room

0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 1>or you got guys saying, why in the hell is

0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Cam Newton not the starter? So that's the situation. You're in.

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:00.760
<v Speaker 1>The fans up being healthy. You're not even sure he's

0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna be healthy. So let's see how this plays out.

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:06.000
<v Speaker 1>He's run the ball a lot. He's been in harm's way.

0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:08.280
<v Speaker 1>We've seen that from him in the past, and what's

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 1>happened in the past, he's been injured. And for Drew Brees,

0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 1>what we've seen throughout his career is what he's doing.

0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:16.639
<v Speaker 1>He's running the offense, and he runs the offense very well.

0:27:16.800 --> 0:27:19.760
<v Speaker 1>They didn't have Michael Thomas this week and it showed.

0:27:19.960 --> 0:27:22.880
<v Speaker 1>And until Michael Thomas comes back, I think we withhold

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:25.640
<v Speaker 1>judgment on whether or not Drew Brees is done. I'm

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:28.480
<v Speaker 1>still trying to figure out Anthony Lynn, who I do love,

0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:32.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, I watching Hard Knocks. I loved his personality

0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:35.679
<v Speaker 1>and maybe I shouldn't be surprised with his reaction to

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Justin Herbert wait. You know he was asked about, well,

0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 1>who's your starter, and he goes, you know, Tyrod Taylor

0:27:41.440 --> 0:27:45.040
<v Speaker 1>is Justin Herbert is a backup here. That's a pretty

0:27:45.040 --> 0:27:48.680
<v Speaker 1>good audition by Justin Herbert, So why are the Chargers

0:27:48.720 --> 0:27:51.360
<v Speaker 1>apprehensive to turn it over to him? Yeah, that really

0:27:51.440 --> 0:27:53.880
<v Speaker 1>raises the bar for the starter if that's what your

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:57.760
<v Speaker 1>backup does. And I watched that game. Justin Herbert was incredible.

0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:00.240
<v Speaker 1>He's almost like he looked like Philip Rivers, but like

0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:01.959
<v Speaker 1>in one of those video games where if you complete

0:28:01.960 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 1>ten passes in a row, like your player gets supersized.

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's a giant. He put Damian Wilson on

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:10.679
<v Speaker 1>his ass on the sideline. He runs it well. He

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 1>had a fake pitch at one point and he froze

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Frank Clark and ran right by him. The guy can

0:28:15.359 --> 0:28:17.760
<v Speaker 1>do it all. He hustles. There was a player where

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Austin Eckler was running the ball ten yards downfield. Herbert

0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 1>took off sprinting just to kind of hang around, like

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:25.680
<v Speaker 1>crashing the boards like you never know what's going When

0:28:25.680 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 1>does a quarterback ever do that? This kid gets it,

0:28:28.600 --> 0:28:32.160
<v Speaker 1>and I think that what the Chargers are doing, they're

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 1>playing the one hundred percent card. Chibrod Taylor plays when

0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:37.920
<v Speaker 1>he's one hundred percent, he just won't be one hundred percent.

0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:40.240
<v Speaker 1>And by the time he is one hundred percent, justin

0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Herbert will be entrenched as the starter. And he's got Look,

0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:45.160
<v Speaker 1>he's got an easy game coming up this week against

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Carolina and then it's on the road against hashtag Tommy

0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and Drew Brees back to back weeks. What a contrast

0:28:51.360 --> 0:28:53.959
<v Speaker 1>that is, this great young quarterback against the two oldest

0:28:53.960 --> 0:28:56.440
<v Speaker 1>guys in the league at quarterback. But I think he's

0:28:56.440 --> 0:28:58.240
<v Speaker 1>going to get some more chances to show what he

0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:00.720
<v Speaker 1>can do. And I was amazed how good he was.

0:29:00.760 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 1>To get the tap on the shoulder a minute before

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:04.640
<v Speaker 1>the game and to play like he did was incredible.

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:09.840
<v Speaker 1>When does Ta make his debut? He should be Why

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:12.320
<v Speaker 1>isn't he playing now? Right? The hips fine? He was

0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 1>completely off the injury report last week. He's not getting

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:17.440
<v Speaker 1>any treatment on MAIP. We already see Joe Burrow and

0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:20.120
<v Speaker 1>he's passed the eyeball test. He's been great for the Bengals.

0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 1>We see Herbert. I mean, history would suggest that two

0:29:23.800 --> 0:29:25.360
<v Speaker 1>is going to be the bust out of the three.

0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:27.480
<v Speaker 1>When have there been three top six quarterbacks and they

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:29.320
<v Speaker 1>all end up being great. If I'm the Dolphins, I

0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 1>want to find out what this guy has. Every game

0:29:31.600 --> 0:29:34.400
<v Speaker 1>that you let the guy play now makes him better

0:29:34.480 --> 0:29:36.960
<v Speaker 1>in the future. Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't going to be the

0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:39.440
<v Speaker 1>quarterback next year two is going to be the quarterback.

0:29:39.840 --> 0:29:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I'd want to get him on the field, And at

0:29:41.720 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 1>some point the owner's got to make that call and say,

0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:46.640
<v Speaker 1>we invested in this guy for the future, Let's get

0:29:46.720 --> 0:29:48.360
<v Speaker 1>him ready for the future by putting him on the

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 1>field in the present. Talking to Mike Florio, co host

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Talk Live, you can watch that on Peacock.

0:29:54.680 --> 0:29:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you on the Broncos situation that you bring

0:29:57.160 --> 0:30:00.880
<v Speaker 1>in Blake Bortles and if they're ever was a situation

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.560
<v Speaker 1>where if Colin Kaepernick was going to get at least

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 1>a look, it would have been then in my opinion,

0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:08.840
<v Speaker 1>And he doesn't even get a look because I don't

0:30:08.840 --> 0:30:10.760
<v Speaker 1>think there's any harm in just saying let's bring him

0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:13.560
<v Speaker 1>both in and let him compete for this backup job,

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:18.080
<v Speaker 1>unless John Elway says, you know what, if we bring

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 1>him in, are we willing to let him win the job?

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Because you know they Drew Locke is their future. So

0:30:25.240 --> 0:30:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they looked at this the way

0:30:27.360 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots would have with Cam to a lesser degree.

0:30:30.240 --> 0:30:32.000
<v Speaker 1>If he comes in and he's not your starter and

0:30:32.040 --> 0:30:34.760
<v Speaker 1>then he's your backup quarterback, is that good for business

0:30:34.880 --> 0:30:37.960
<v Speaker 1>here with the development of Jared Stidham, But with Kaepernick

0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:40.120
<v Speaker 1>there's far more to it. Why didn't the Broncos bring

0:30:40.240 --> 0:30:43.040
<v Speaker 1>him in? Well, why doesn't anybody bring him in? Why

0:30:43.080 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 1>isn't his phone wrong in four years now? And you

0:30:47.120 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 1>know there's so many narratives out there. He only wants

0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:51.320
<v Speaker 1>to be a starter, He wants twenty million dollars a year.

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't want to be a backup. He doesn't want

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to be on a practice squad. I mean, the Eagles

0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:57.080
<v Speaker 1>are given Josh mccount twelve thousand dollars a week for

0:30:57.120 --> 0:31:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a no show job. Just stay in Texas, keep working out,

0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and if we need you, we'll call you. Here's twelve

0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:08.480
<v Speaker 1>grand a week for your trouble. And if any of

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:10.840
<v Speaker 1>those narratives are true, why won't one of these teams

0:31:10.880 --> 0:31:13.160
<v Speaker 1>call us bluff? Just call him up and say, hey,

0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:15.480
<v Speaker 1>how would you like a no show job with us?

0:31:15.520 --> 0:31:18.000
<v Speaker 1>For twelve grand a week, stay in shape, and if

0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:21.040
<v Speaker 1>we get in a COVID nineteen pinch, we'll have you

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:24.160
<v Speaker 1>on our roster. Why not do that? I mean, no

0:31:24.240 --> 0:31:27.720
<v Speaker 1>one will call him on these things that people think

0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:31.160
<v Speaker 1>are the impediments to him taking a job in the NFL.

0:31:31.240 --> 0:31:33.440
<v Speaker 1>And with the Broncos as a history there Dan, they

0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:36.360
<v Speaker 1>tried to trade for him in twenty sixteen, he refused

0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 1>to reduce his twelve million dollars guaranteed salary, and then

0:31:39.400 --> 0:31:42.960
<v Speaker 1>in twenty seventeen, once the kneeling started, John Elway was, well,

0:31:43.040 --> 0:31:45.720
<v Speaker 1>he had his chance last year, so we're not interested

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:48.080
<v Speaker 1>this year. So I'm not surprised the Bronchos have shunned

0:31:48.120 --> 0:31:51.160
<v Speaker 1>this guy. They're one of the original Kaepernick shunners. But

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:53.240
<v Speaker 1>this bigger picture, you know, there was that period of

0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:56.680
<v Speaker 1>time in June where people were like, damn, this guy

0:31:56.800 --> 0:32:00.280
<v Speaker 1>was right all along with the reasons why he was protesting,

0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:01.920
<v Speaker 1>in the things he was trying to tell us, and

0:32:02.000 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 1>it felt like there was some momentum and then it

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:08.400
<v Speaker 1>all just disappeared. And I think this isn't the final

0:32:08.480 --> 0:32:10.959
<v Speaker 1>nail in the coffin. This is the extra nail. This

0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:13.200
<v Speaker 1>is the reminder that no one is going to call

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 1>this guy. And with each passing day, with each passing game,

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:19.800
<v Speaker 1>it's easier to justify it because you say, Elly hasn't

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:21.400
<v Speaker 1>played in three and a half years. Yeah, it hasn't

0:32:21.400 --> 0:32:22.840
<v Speaker 1>played in three and a half years because you black

0:32:22.880 --> 0:32:27.000
<v Speaker 1>balled it. Should I buy into the Raiders. Let's see

0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:29.240
<v Speaker 1>what happens this weekend in New England. I think it's

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:31.200
<v Speaker 1>too early to tell. You never know early in the

0:32:31.280 --> 0:32:33.360
<v Speaker 1>year how good the teams are that you've beaten. They

0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:36.120
<v Speaker 1>they took it too deep into the game with the

0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Panthers week one, and if the Saints really are on

0:32:39.320 --> 0:32:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the verge of maybe seeing their their run, and we

0:32:43.440 --> 0:32:45.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know how good the Raiders are, Let's see what

0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:48.600
<v Speaker 1>they can do against Cam Newton. You're a buzzkill, Well,

0:32:49.400 --> 0:32:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm a realist, no, but that doesn't help. We're supposed

0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to have hot takes. I'm reminded that every day, like

0:32:55.240 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you've got to have more hot takes. I'm like, ah,

0:32:57.280 --> 0:33:00.680
<v Speaker 1>don't I don't have hot takes. Yeah, you know, hot

0:33:00.760 --> 0:33:03.760
<v Speaker 1>hot takes. Hot takes eventually put you in a spot

0:33:04.320 --> 0:33:07.720
<v Speaker 1>where you know those dreams when you're like walking through

0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the grocery store naked. You know that you feel that

0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:12.600
<v Speaker 1>way with your takes. So I've learned the hard way too.

0:33:12.600 --> 0:33:16.000
<v Speaker 1>I've walked through many a grocery store naked figuratively over

0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:19.239
<v Speaker 1>the year. What was your Super Bowl picks? What was it?

0:33:19.240 --> 0:33:21.640
<v Speaker 1>I've already forgotten. I love a good people say, what

0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:23.000
<v Speaker 1>do you root for? A root for a good story.

0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 1>And what better story than the Patriots and the Buccaneers.

0:33:25.280 --> 0:33:27.200
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know how I feel about the Buccaneers

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:29.560
<v Speaker 1>after two games, but I think the Patriots are better

0:33:29.600 --> 0:33:31.080
<v Speaker 1>than we expected them to be, and if they keep

0:33:31.120 --> 0:33:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Cam Newton healthy, They're gonna be a factory. Think about

0:33:32.960 --> 0:33:34.760
<v Speaker 1>some of these playoff games we can have if the

0:33:34.800 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Patriots and the Chiefs cross paths in the postseason, Patriots

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and the raven I mean, if Cam Newton can stay healthy,

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:43.360
<v Speaker 1>this Patriots team is not a team to overlook. But

0:33:43.480 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 1>who do you like in the division? In the I

0:33:46.480 --> 0:33:49.560
<v Speaker 1>still like the Patriots, Okay, I think the look the Bills.

0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:51.480
<v Speaker 1>The Bills got to deal with the Patriots twice Week

0:33:51.520 --> 0:33:53.800
<v Speaker 1>eight and Week sixteen, and those will be some great games.

0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:56.760
<v Speaker 1>But but I, you know, I look, they shouldn't have

0:33:56.800 --> 0:33:59.400
<v Speaker 1>been in a position to win that game on Sunday night.

0:33:59.440 --> 0:34:02.240
<v Speaker 1>That's the nation of Bill Belichick and Cam Newton, and frankly,

0:34:02.600 --> 0:34:04.760
<v Speaker 1>they outsmarted themselves down at the goal line. They don't

0:34:04.800 --> 0:34:06.680
<v Speaker 1>call the time out when they should have. I don't

0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:08.479
<v Speaker 1>know if you saw the clip of Bill Belichick's press

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:10.160
<v Speaker 1>conference after the game. It was beautiful. And it's a

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:12.640
<v Speaker 1>new way to avoid a question. If someone asks you

0:34:12.640 --> 0:34:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a question you don't want to answer, you just sit

0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:18.279
<v Speaker 1>there and say nothing, and after about thirty seconds they'll

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:20.359
<v Speaker 1>move on to the next question. It's perfect. I'm gonna

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:22.719
<v Speaker 1>have to try it out somewhere. But yeah, they should

0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:24.719
<v Speaker 1>have called time out. They maybe should have passed the

0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:27.480
<v Speaker 1>ball at the goal line. Give Cam Newton multiple options,

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 1>don't just give him one option in that position. But

0:34:30.480 --> 0:34:32.279
<v Speaker 1>they could have won that game in Seattle. So I

0:34:32.280 --> 0:34:33.640
<v Speaker 1>think they're going to be really good this year, and

0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I think they're gonna win the division. But also, when

0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:39.319
<v Speaker 1>do you discuss a contract with him? Because people want

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:41.600
<v Speaker 1>to and I'm like, no, I don't want to do it.

0:34:41.640 --> 0:34:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Now find the Patriots, he said yesterday, I'm fine, it's

0:34:44.600 --> 0:34:46.879
<v Speaker 1>not my focus, you know, Dan for him to make

0:34:46.920 --> 0:34:50.000
<v Speaker 1>the full seven and a half million this year, he

0:34:50.280 --> 0:34:53.600
<v Speaker 1>essentially has to be the regular season MVP and the

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:56.719
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl MVP. Those aren't the firm requirements, but as

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 1>a practical matter, that's what he's got to do. And

0:34:58.760 --> 0:35:01.839
<v Speaker 1>if that happens, that's seven and a half million will

0:35:01.880 --> 0:35:06.120
<v Speaker 1>be the best investment in the history of American maybe

0:35:06.120 --> 0:35:09.600
<v Speaker 1>worldwide sport. To get that Super Bowl For the seven

0:35:09.640 --> 0:35:11.399
<v Speaker 1>and a half million dollars, i'd have to pay Cam

0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Newton and then you worry about it next year. And

0:35:14.040 --> 0:35:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the beauty of contract is they can use the franchise

0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:18.239
<v Speaker 1>tag on it next year. There wasn't a commitment to

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:20.000
<v Speaker 1>give that up as part of the deal, and that's

0:35:20.080 --> 0:35:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the wisdom of just letting it simmer, letting it sit,

0:35:24.120 --> 0:35:27.080
<v Speaker 1>wait until he's at the low point of his expectations,

0:35:27.239 --> 0:35:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and he'll take anything he gets. That's when the Patriots

0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:32.320
<v Speaker 1>swooped in and got the deal done. Yeah, I wouldn't

0:35:32.320 --> 0:35:35.359
<v Speaker 1>be doing anything, and I would probably look at franchising him.

0:35:35.480 --> 0:35:38.359
<v Speaker 1>But you know, if he's not concerned about it, I'm

0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:40.960
<v Speaker 1>sure Bill Belichick is not concerned about it either. Mike,

0:35:41.000 --> 0:35:43.080
<v Speaker 1>great to talk to you. As always, We appreciate your time.

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, buddy. All Right, Dan, have a good day, Bud.

0:35:46.840 --> 0:35:50.200

0:36:02.280 --> 0:36:05.560
<v Speaker 1>or stream us live on the Peacock app. We're just

0:36:05.640 --> 0:36:12.120
<v Speaker 1>looking at video last night's game. Jamal Murray has an

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:15.839
<v Speaker 1>elbow that grazes Lebron James whiskers, not even his chin,

0:36:16.120 --> 0:36:20.279
<v Speaker 1>his whiskers, and Lebron goes down in a heap. See

0:36:20.320 --> 0:36:23.680
<v Speaker 1>that's where if you're an official that you have to say, Lebron,

0:36:24.640 --> 0:36:27.319
<v Speaker 1>you're too big to go down like that. Do we

0:36:27.400 --> 0:36:32.879
<v Speaker 1>blame all of this on Vlade divac is flopping? Did

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Vlade Divak bring flopping to America? Because it felt like

0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:42.960
<v Speaker 1>it came from soccer, But when Vlade came here, it

0:36:43.000 --> 0:36:45.399
<v Speaker 1>felt like Vladi was the first to do it. Yeah,

0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:51.120
<v Speaker 1>Paul Duke basketball sold charges in the nineties similar to

0:36:51.200 --> 0:36:56.319
<v Speaker 1>when Vlade showed up. It's probably simultaneously. Well, I don't

0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:59.840
<v Speaker 1>know if Danny Ferry was you know, flopping when he

0:36:59.880 --> 0:37:03.719
<v Speaker 1>was with Duke. So if I do, yeah, batty A

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:06.480
<v Speaker 1>was a master, but I have to I thought Vlaude

0:37:06.680 --> 0:37:08.960
<v Speaker 1>was the first to do it. Yeah, seton, If you

0:37:09.080 --> 0:37:12.320
<v Speaker 1>google who started flopping in the NBA, guess the first

0:37:12.400 --> 0:37:15.160
<v Speaker 1>name that comes up, At least for me, it did.

0:37:17.360 --> 0:37:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, Yeah, Well, there's guys who offensively sold fouls

0:37:23.040 --> 0:37:26.560
<v Speaker 1>by flailing theirs is such a nice way of saying

0:37:26.600 --> 0:37:29.560
<v Speaker 1>he's offensively sold. He's a regular guest on the Dan

0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Reggie Miller. No, Reggie didn't bring flopping. He gave overreacting.

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:39.759
<v Speaker 1>I get Bill Lambier as being one of the people

0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:43.400
<v Speaker 1>who started flopping. Okay, it felt like it was Vlaude

0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:47.759
<v Speaker 1>who who actually fell down, like you know, fever is

0:37:47.760 --> 0:37:51.320
<v Speaker 1>going to be. If you're teaching a master class and flopping,

0:37:51.480 --> 0:37:55.480
<v Speaker 1>i'd have Vlaude in there. Yes, MC loving. There's apparently

0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:58.520
<v Speaker 1>a Sports Illustrated article in the fifties about Frank Ramsey.

0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know who he is a good player

0:38:01.120 --> 0:38:09.680
<v Speaker 1>inventing flopping. Frank the flopper Ramsey from Kentucky number top pick. Yeah, yeah, okay,

0:38:09.760 --> 0:38:12.920
<v Speaker 1>and that's what he said. He said that. Uh, And

0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:15.479
<v Speaker 1>the NBA came out and wrote a strong letter saying

0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:20.520
<v Speaker 1>you have to stop doing that. So Frank Ramsey is

0:38:21.600 --> 0:38:24.799
<v Speaker 1>nineteen fifty eight or something. Yeah, well that was well

0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:27.880
<v Speaker 1>before Vloody Diva. They didn't They didn't flop like guys

0:38:27.880 --> 0:38:33.879
<v Speaker 1>flop today. Right, Um no, no, no, that far far

0:38:33.960 --> 0:38:38.759
<v Speaker 1>more theatrical now. But it feels like Duke. They they

0:38:38.840 --> 0:38:41.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty much grabbed it and made it theirs. Yeah, Paul

0:38:41.480 --> 0:38:46.000
<v Speaker 1>selling uh fouls to get injury calls and get fouls. Uh,

0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Danny ainge. Danny was really good at it with the Celtics.

0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:52.040
<v Speaker 1>When he would get hit on a pick, he would

0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:54.160
<v Speaker 1>scream and cry to the reps. I wouldn't call it flopping,

0:38:54.200 --> 0:38:57.160
<v Speaker 1>but he would sell contact. Well. He once got bit

0:38:57.320 --> 0:39:01.799
<v Speaker 1>on his finger by Tree Rawlins, supposedly, so like you

0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:05.120
<v Speaker 1>can't fake that when somebody bites your fingers himself. And

0:39:05.120 --> 0:39:09.160
<v Speaker 1>then I was so confused by that as a kid,

0:39:09.239 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 1>Why did Tree Lylens, who's so much bigger I need

0:39:11.280 --> 0:39:14.319
<v Speaker 1>to bite him? Shouldn't Danny Angel bitten Tree Rockling. I

0:39:14.360 --> 0:39:16.359
<v Speaker 1>think it was in the bottom of a scrum and

0:39:16.400 --> 0:39:20.880
<v Speaker 1>then he just bit Angel's finger. I don't know, I

0:39:20.920 --> 0:39:22.839
<v Speaker 1>don't know. There's a lot of things. There's grown men

0:39:22.880 --> 0:39:27.960
<v Speaker 1>who grab each other in the groin when they're in

0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:34.359
<v Speaker 1>the pile, like, explain that, Mike and Chicago. Hey Mike,

0:39:34.440 --> 0:39:39.759
<v Speaker 1>what's on your mind? Hi? Dan? Thanks for taking my call. Yeah,

0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:42.480
<v Speaker 1>a long time listener, first time caller. I have a

0:39:42.520 --> 0:39:44.959
<v Speaker 1>couple of comments. The first one is on Notre Dame.

0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:49.520
<v Speaker 1>They have seven players or so that got covid um.

0:39:49.760 --> 0:39:52.760
<v Speaker 1>And there are a small university. That's kind of shocking

0:39:52.800 --> 0:39:57.279
<v Speaker 1>that none of these other universities have hardly anything. I'm

0:39:57.280 --> 0:39:59.680
<v Speaker 1>not sure what the integrity is I'm going with these

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:02.719
<v Speaker 1>biggure universities out there. Yeah, well, I don't know if

0:40:02.760 --> 0:40:05.960
<v Speaker 1>everybody is disclosing all the numbers they're supposed to disclose.

0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:11.239
<v Speaker 1>But what else on your mind? Oh? Man? Marvin hung

0:40:11.320 --> 0:40:13.520
<v Speaker 1>up on him. He had been waiting for an hour

0:40:13.520 --> 0:40:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and a half. Come on, Marv. Chris and Maryland. Hey Chris,

0:40:16.520 --> 0:40:19.040
<v Speaker 1>what do you have for me today? Hey? Dan? What's

0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:22.040
<v Speaker 1>going on? Bud? Hey? I want to ask a sort

0:40:22.040 --> 0:40:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of a broadcast related question. So you know, if you

0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:27.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking football, if you're watching the NBC or the

0:40:27.280 --> 0:40:30.360
<v Speaker 1>CBS or the Floss game, it's really simple in terms

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:32.960
<v Speaker 1>of it's a game, there's like not a sort of

0:40:33.000 --> 0:40:35.479
<v Speaker 1>super fancy production, and then they've got, you know, two

0:40:35.520 --> 0:40:37.840
<v Speaker 1>great folks on the booth and someone on the sideline.

0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:40.280
<v Speaker 1>But you put on this Monday night game on ESPN

0:40:40.360 --> 0:40:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's like a game show. Like they got the

0:40:42.920 --> 0:40:46.960
<v Speaker 1>folks and the coats and these crazy like game show graphics,

0:40:46.960 --> 0:40:49.080
<v Speaker 1>and it just seems to me that like some of

0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:51.759
<v Speaker 1>the audience is going to transfer from one broadcast to

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the next to the next. So I don't I just

0:40:53.719 --> 0:40:56.560
<v Speaker 1>don't understand why ESPN feels like they got to put

0:40:56.600 --> 0:41:00.000
<v Speaker 1>on this this super like show and not to show

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:02.400
<v Speaker 1>a really good game. And I'm just sort of curious

0:41:02.400 --> 0:41:04.799
<v Speaker 1>about your take on that. Well, they haven't had a

0:41:04.880 --> 0:41:09.000
<v Speaker 1>very good schedule, thank you, Chris, and they have tried

0:41:09.120 --> 0:41:13.239
<v Speaker 1>to reinvent Monday night football. And I kept saying and

0:41:13.280 --> 0:41:15.160
<v Speaker 1>I've said it. I even said it to the people,

0:41:15.640 --> 0:41:19.200
<v Speaker 1>you know in power, John Skipper, you know, I said,

0:41:19.600 --> 0:41:22.759
<v Speaker 1>just do the game, like you're not going to have

0:41:22.800 --> 0:41:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Howard Cosell. There's no Howard Cosell here, because I remember,

0:41:26.480 --> 0:41:28.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I was told by upper management that they

0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:30.840
<v Speaker 1>were thinking of putting Stephen A. Smith in the booth,

0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:33.960
<v Speaker 1>and I said, no, no, no. He does what he does,

0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:37.560
<v Speaker 1>he does it well. Don't try to make this Monday

0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Night Football the seventies. Just if you do it in

0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:43.480
<v Speaker 1>a way like you draw more attention to what you

0:41:43.600 --> 0:41:46.200
<v Speaker 1>lack when you try to make it something that it's not,

0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 1>or you're trying to be somebody you're not. You can

0:41:49.760 --> 0:41:53.200
<v Speaker 1>have fun with it, but there's so much that goes

0:41:53.239 --> 0:41:55.880
<v Speaker 1>into the build up to Monday Night Football. It's really

0:41:55.920 --> 0:41:58.319
<v Speaker 1>hard for Monday Night Football to live up to the

0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:02.640
<v Speaker 1>amount of airtime that has spent on that Sunday night.

0:42:02.880 --> 0:42:06.280
<v Speaker 1>That's the best broadcast that you have. Al and Chris.

0:42:06.800 --> 0:42:09.200
<v Speaker 1>They don't have bells and whistles. They just do it.

0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:12.040
<v Speaker 1>They do it professionally, they do it well, and that

0:42:12.160 --> 0:42:15.719
<v Speaker 1>should be pretty much the blueprint when you're doing a game.

0:42:15.880 --> 0:42:18.879
<v Speaker 1>Just do it professionally. Let the game be the star.

0:42:19.320 --> 0:42:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Final hour coming up,
